Duke, Please Repent! chapter 226

43. The Duke and the Darkside Demon (1)

There is one thing I need to make sure of before the year is over.

Slowly, the time has come when the demons will attempt their first demon summons.

That's right, the sun will change soon...

When I set the mood and opened my mouth, Yoo Jis also responded with a serious expression.

all.

On the surface, it looks elegant and old-fashioned, but in reality, it's just a Serpence busy savoring Éclairs.

Unlike Winston, who sat idly with a listener rather than a listener, his willingness to actively participate in the meeting stood out.

Shion predicted last year that the first summons would be held in a dark area, didn't you?

"Uh, um well, it seems like there was a past like that.

"Why are you reacting so shaky?"

Looking at me avoiding my gaze, Yuji Su asked, as if wondering.

Shit, it seems that the information that our side is taking over the dark district has leaked out to them.

Yeah? How do you do that , ah!

All of a sudden, Eugenes put on an expression that reminded him of an amazing novel.

Of course, she herself would think she had attained enlightenment, but in my opinion it is. Serpense's thoughts are probably the same as mine! .

"By the way, the assistant to the Duke of Argento was also summoned by demons there.

Did you know you were going to lose? i See. Indeed, I understand.

I still don't understand. Further explanation is requested.

Noting that he, the traitor, had given the information to the Empire and spared his life, it was speculated that the Emperor of the Empire had ordered the Serppens to be sent to a dark place to take control of it, in preparation for it.

indeed.

It was a very plausible story as it is far from the truth today.

Based on real events,

Are you saying it's a fiction?

'Then do you correct this or not? That's the problem... .'

I glanced at Serpens. The guy who made eye contact with me blinked a couple of times.

For now, it just means to move on.

But it was the middle of this year that the Empire got that information. Is there any possibility that they decided that they couldn't completely take over the Dark House?

In response to Eugene's opinion, Serpens quietly shook his head.

You suspected it and investigated it.

If that's the case, it won't be difficult to find out that someone unidentified has long held the hegemony of the dark house.

This novel seems to have been a relay novel.

Serpence handed over the baton to Eugenes and wrote down the story.

And if you think about how that person has improved Amhokga...

That's right. Abolished the slave auction held in the dark district, and raised it to the sun,

Yes, the transaction was induced to be eradicated . Just looking at it, it is closer to the ideology of the Luxmea Church than to the devil's worship.

And he was now inducing the illusion of Eugenes.

It's also not welcome that demons are summoned from the dark side.

I'm sure]... If the devil runs rampant, the location of the Dark House will be discovered, and if the devil worshipers sit there, that's a big deal. It's like being the owner of the Dark House and becoming the devil's slave in an instant.

With Serpence's fan, the story quickly reached the end.

Even if they don't know that he was a Serpence, they probably know that if a demon is summoned there, Serpence will come to stop him right away. That is...

Yes, perhaps Zion is concerned about that.

I went back to Moro, but I arrived at my destination properly.

But today, Serpense's tone is strangely...

The three of us enjoy refreshments every day

It's been almost half a year since I've been flirting. Moreover, in recent years, Serpens has started to open up to her rapidly.

In other words, there is no way that she, who has noticed, could not have noticed the prestige that permeated Serpense's tone now.

Yes?

Serpens tilted his head.

Then he took turns looking at me and Winston, pretending to be innocent, as if asking if there was anything awkward about his tone.

In the process, Serpens and his eyes

Master Winston stiffened.

It's nothing. I must have misunderstood something.

As if Yujis understood, he nodded his head slightly and corrected his own words.

It wasn't that he really thought he was mistaken, but he thought that Serpens was just acting as an external fence because of Winston.

'The Demon Lord knows the future I know, and we know that the Demon King knows , no, what are you talking about?"

Anyway, even if it was discovered later, I think he was going to make excuses for noticing it because of Winston.

Anyway, that's roughly the situation. So, what do you think?

By the way, didn't Zion say that the purpose of demon worshipers is to summon demons into the dark?

Even though he didn't say it, Eugese raised his hand and asked a question.

There are only four people, so I wonder if it is necessary to do so.

"Yeah, well I did say that. But then, a variable arose, so the plan changed.

Could it have been? Summoning someone stronger than the demon that I had fortified in advance, or deploying additional guys to poke around when Serpens fights the devil... .

"Or doing a bucket operation?"

"It could be, and so on."

To see if there was an answer, Euges lowered his raised hand.

The fact that demons are summoned to the dark side will not change.

Is it because it's not a question?

Serpens did not raise his hand and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Why do you think so?"

It's a closed space cut off from the outside. It's hard to get help even if you're in danger, and there's no way to know when a problem arises outside.

In the end it's the same thing.

The dark district is the best environment to attack the serpents, and at the same time, it was perfect to take advantage of the serpent's absence.

Summon a suitable demon to fight Serpence and kill time

Therefore .

"What does Zion want to do?"

Yes? Me? Why?

Because they're after you.

Ahh! That's right, that's right!

Come to think of it, the devil misunderstood that I was like a god of this world.

It was so absurd that I forgot about it.

"You really "

Shion, there's something else to blink.

Serpens lowered his head and touched his forehead.

Afterwards, Eugenes said with the nuance that it was too harsh.

Both had serious expressions on their faces.

It's no big deal. I'll go with you.

Is it okay? It could be dangerous.

As I shrugged my shoulders exaggeratedly and spoke sympathetically, Serpens gave me a worried expression.

"Is it dangerous to stay here?"

uh... .

I can't do it because I'm afraid Serpens will run out of impatience. What should I do as my guardian?

Not only that.

If I choose to wait in the mansion, Serpens will leave Eugess and Winston here and head to the dark side alone.

If the demon that appeared in [Master of the Holy Sword] came out as it is, it would be a little reassuring, but there is no guarantee anywhere that it will.

The level of demons that can be summoned right now is there, but it's a demon.

If you consider this time as a golden opportunity and succeed in summoning a strong demon by overdoing it.

'Isn't it? [Because the demon summoned by the master of the holy sword was the one who passed over to the main body... .'

If you find a suitable vessel, it is possible to summon a stronger one without needing to overdo it.

You can't send him there alone with such a problem.

If Humanus arrives on time, he might be able to help Serpent, but the demons are swarming inside the dark house.

If you block the site, even that will be far away.

Then it's better to just go all together.

'If something happens outside, Humanus will take care of it.'

It's a little cocky to have as a friend, but his qualifications as the master of the holy sword have been sufficiently proven through [Master of the Holy Sword].

Zion.

why?

Thank you.

It's very pathetic to say thank you with eyes like you're sorry you're about to die.

"Why do you hold on to something so natural?"

"Then what should I say?"

It's enough to say, I'm wearing it shoulder-to-shoulder, thank you! If it goes well, I'll definitely buy you a meal!'

"If it's a meal, I'm providing it every day Oh, that's right. Did you want to eat out?"

How do you go about eating out in the dark?

all. It's not urgent right now, is it?

It seems that the point is a little off, but sometimes eating out is not bad, so I decided to just move on.

I have a question.

Winston, who had been listening silently, raised his hand carefully and opened his mouth.

Because Euges raised his hand earlier, he seems to think he needs to raise his hand to get the right to speak at the Illuminati meeting.

Sorry to say you don't have to

It looks like I'll do it, so I'll have to adjust it.

You], I acknowledge Sir Winston's right to speak. Ask a question.

Hmmmm...! There are a lot of things I want to ask, but...

It's okay, so feel free to ask. It's not like I'm going to go right away anyway.

Then I'll ask.

I don't know what the hell you're trying to ask.

"Is there a black hole in the empire?"

...Yes?

I've heard that the Empire strictly cracks down on illegal activities, and the Empire I've seen is like that. And even if it's a dark area, it's usually not safe, isn't it?

It was such a natural story for the three of us, so I didn't even think of explaining it.

As the conversation progressed, he felt sorry for him, who must have been sitting there idly, without being involved in the conversation or understanding it.

The 'Dark Street' we speak of is a huge underground city. The Empire cracks down on illegal activities, so everyone gathers there.

Underground city...?

Winston followed the words I had said with a look of disbelief.

Yeah. It's not in a metaphorical sense, it's really underground. It used to be the underground holy place of Lux Mea1, but as you all know, you still haven't been able to find it?

Yeah?! Wait, Sion! Is that uh, where?

Wow! You didn't know Euges?

I looked at Serpens. With the meaning of what you've been doing without saying a word.

It's been back and forth a few times, so I thought you would have noticed.

Wow, what a shame.

"From what I've heard it doesn't make sense that such criminals have created such a robust underground city. I overlooked it because of the prejudice that it is a hotbed of crime."

do you go through it again? If it were me, I would have been scrutinizing Serpens.

Eugenes first reflected on himself.

It is said that a gentleman reflects on himself when something unpleasant happens, and a small man blames others. .

'Wait, then, am I going to be a dwarf?'

Still, since Serpence was more deadly than me, I think I may have walked halfway.

Anyway, the dark district is such a place, so it is cut off from the outside world.

For some reason, Winston's face looked more confused than before.

He put his palm close in front of Winston's eyes and waved it to get his Earl back.

Hey? Where did the person who said he had a lot of questions to ask?

Well, then the story that the master is in control of the dark district...

"Ah that."

I guess I just called you
